Programmed fuel injection

The PGM-FI system adjusts fuel levels based on parameters like temperature, elevation, throttle position, and riding style to increase power and torque across the RPM range and improve throttle response.

Stainless steel exhaust

The polished stainless-steel exhaust seamlessly integrates with the rear footpeg mount, optimizing mass centralization and elevating handling prowess. This is what we call functional aesthetics.

Steel-tube frame

The diamond-shaped steel-tube mainframe is seamlessly connected to the engine through four mounts and provides a rock-solid foundation for an unrivaled ride and handling experience.

Lightweight swingarm

The swingarm, utilized across the entire Honda 500 lineup, is nearly two pounds lighter and stronger than the previous version. This is one reason for the exceptional handling.

Cast wheels

The lightweight, multi-spoke, cast aluminum wheels are designed to improve handling and fit various sticky street tires. Plus, they are easy to clean and just plain look good.

Slipper clutch

Born from Honda's racing pedigree, the slipper/assist clutch reduces clutch lever effort by 45 percent compared to previous systems and automatically locks up tight upon release, reducing rear-wheel hop under hard deceleration.
